The Express DVD trailer begins in 1956, telling you that Syracuse University's Jim Brown was the best running back ever in college football and showing clips from some of his games. People said if Jim Brown could not win the Heisman Trophy, no African-American ever could, but then Ernie Davis took the field. As The Express trailer continues, you see Ernie Davis beginning his football and college career at Syracuse and getting used to a tough coach and dealing with the same racism present all over the U.S. at that time. Ernie becomes a standout on the football field early on to the delight of his coach and the school.
During The Express DVD, you will see how Ernie Davis' football career developed over time and how he also dealt with racism both on the football field and off. You can see that Ernie's career meant more than football as he changed the views of his coach, his team, and inspired his hometown and fellow African-Americans. The Express DVD trailer makes it clear that Ernie Davis was more than a football player, he was an icon.
